nostalgia - benny starr lyrics

Loading...

shaniqua mccants’ intro

feels like i…
seen it before…
smelled it before…
breathed it before…
felt it before…
it all feels like nostalgia…

(x3)

from the orb of the water womb
i absorbed nautical notes
frequently, from my folks, in the audible
as the presence of my pop’s b-ss faded
my mom’s vocal became jaded
her warm alto told a story like alpo
worrisome tunes
young beautiful, burgeoning black adults
thank god umbilical chords masked distortion
of br-ss blown out of proportion.​
when momma felt joy, that relaxed me
i would dance delicate dances when she’d asked me
everything she tasted, i tasted
joyful times were times ten
confined to her fetal-like, feeling of a time lapse
everyday reminded
finite confinements are winding to its climax
i’d never thirst til the water burst
now, birthed to this earth
unrehe-rs-d, i traversed into verse
and my first words, they were…

feels like i…
seen it before…
smelled it before…
breathed it before…
felt it before…
it all feels like nostalgia…

(x2)

shaniqua mccants’ bridge

what becomes of a raisin in the sunlight, upon sight?
tell me are you startled at its ripeness?
the same fruits on a shaded path, are the grapes of wrath
you should marvel at its likeness
a dream deferred and re-enacted
still, my hands buried in the blur of my blackness
feel.. the way i merge my recital
with tribal dances on these rhythms
to lure rain from heaven on these vineyards
faced with me chasing a profit or being a man of god
spiritual war, digital swords clang in -n-log
equal parts paranoia, focus and euphoria
a student, lover, poet, a warrior, me..
everything i see feels so routine
like white terror peppering the best of our cuisine
to the chef, god bless you and god rest you
as i sip wine, and dine on the house special, it feels like…

feels like i…
seen it before…
smelled it before…
breathed it before…
felt it before…
it all feels like nostalgia…

(repeat)
